About the Speech<\/span><\/em><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on ten years of research conducted between 2015 and 2025, and one of the largest qualitative datasets of its kind, this talk traces the weakening of the state-society-family alliance and its capacity to enforce Confucian and heteronormative ideals in post-Socialist China. It shows how LGBTQ+ people build communities amid intensified state crackdowns, develop new forms of personhood that subvert collectivist frameworks, and renegotiate intergenerational contracts. They navigate sexual possibilities opened up by marketization and digitalization while confronting hierarchies of desirability structured by class inequality and gender norms. The talk illustrates how younger Chinese people\u2019s efforts to resist traditional obligations and pursue nonnormative life projects are relational, partial, and intersectional, shaped through encounters with changing configurations of power and inequality at the intersection of global forces and local histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
